Lady Aeducan vs the Patriarchy

baratheon:

Orzammar is really fucking sexist.

Why? Well, allow Lady Aeducan (star of one of the best origins) to demonstrate.

First, we’ve got Harrowmont really hoping that the provings help our lady Aeducan find herself a man. Thing is, she already has a man she is more than satisfied with. The only problem? He’s of a lower caste and while it’s totes cool for the dudes to have casteless concubines… try and go public with your Warrior caste lover and…

Yeah. Fuck that shit. Then, she leaves the palace and you’ve got some asshole who’s all…

Interesting? Fuck you, she earned this. Then, seeing that she’s probably annoyed, he tries to fix it with this gem.

Someone just got put on the “assassinate but make it look like an accident” list for the day.

Then, she decides to check the silk merchant out and when she asks about why he thinks she might be interested, he’s all…

She’s cool with silk, but seriously dude. SERIOUSLY. 

Later on, even Gorim (who is otherwise a pretty cool guy) had this shit to say about the exploitation of Noble Hunters.

No Gorim. Just… No. If you’re not careful, you are getting none of that glory from your lady tonight.

Fast-forward to the provings where she fights Adal Helmi in one of the rounds (who is an A+ woman ok). After this fight, the proving master is all…

Not many female warriors. I wonder why (oh no wait I don’t). And then if you’re a dude, you’ve got a chance to be offended at fighting a lady, and if you beat her the proving master is all “GOOD FOR YOU BRO SHOWING THAT WOMAN HER PLACE” which makes me want to punch Lord Aeducan in the face, along with the Proving master.

And to top it all off, we’ve got this fucker (not pictured).

Needless to say, this guy lost his head faster than you can say “the shield’s a metaphor, it’s in all of us”.

So, to conclude?

Fuck Orzammar’s bullshit system. Dwarven ladies of the world, unite.
